why is the emulation scene so jagged? The most advanced is probably gamecube. Meanwhile much more popular consoles like the SNES, PS2, N64, etc. all suffer from shitty emulation. They're playable, but don't compare to consoles. Then you have the guys working on mobile emulation who are able to fully emulate gameboy shit better than those on PC. It's fucking ridiculous

they all work fine for me, except ps2 and like 2 N64 games

>6th gen is somehow more consistent than 5th gen emulation
I never understood that. What is it about the early 3D era that's just impossible to emulate?

the architecture was all over the place. The sega saturn used rectangle based models for crying out loud. One gen later, the architectures were more similar.

surprise, user, ZSNES is not the only SNES emulator in existence!

some of the emulators got to the point where they're "good enough" even though they're hackjobs and nobody feels like spending the effort to make a flawless one

>SNES
?????????????????????

what the fuck are you talking about? there are snes, ps2 and n64 emus that are capable of looking better than the original consoles. they arent 100% accurate but you have to be a hyperautist to even notice

>SNES
Literally cycle-accurate, retard.

>Desmume will die soon
>melonDS saves DS emulation on PC

>Meanwhile much more popular consoles like the SNES, [...] all suffer from shitty emulation.

have you literally never heard of Higan?

honestly, what even is wrong with desmume? gaming PC that handles PS2 and PSP emulation fine, but half the 2d sprited DS games run like shit at some point or another

>SNES
You fucking retard.

>people ask for pokémon all the time
>guy who is running the show develops an absurd hatred for pokémon
>sabotages his own emulator to prevent pokémon from running acceptable

user is just trying to play a shitty TRPG and the load times for animations, that can't be turned off, are ungodly.

what a shitty emu

Everyone's happy with "it just werks"

It really is absolutely terrible. Just use melonDS at this point, desu. It already works really well. GUI is very lackluster atm, but it will be updated in the next version. Or just use Drastic through an Android Emulator.

>all these people that actually think snes emulation is good
ha.ha.ha.

>don't compare to consoles
onry 90'z kidzcz XD!

>the Desmume nightmare is finally fucking ending
>tfw online WiFi finally returns

reminder that ironic shitposting is still shitposting

sorry your toaster can't run higan, user, you should get a new one

s-shut up

Only gamecube really.

Gamecube is near perfect though. Compare that to N64 and PS1 that still have problems and Saturn that's even worse

>Meanwhile much more popular consoles like the SNES,
>all suffer from shitty emulation
What the fuck are you on about user? SNES is one of the best emulated consoles out there.

But its great, you even have one super accurate resource intensive emulator and another that runs on any toaster and is close enough for almost anyone (snes9x, dont use zsnes you fucks).

What problems are you guys having with Pokémon in DeSmuME? I played 9 hours of HeartGold and it worked fine.

I don't know if I should applaud the dev for pissing off /vp/ autists or condemn him, as people might actually give money to Gamefreak as a result.

Best Dreamcast emulator?

hahahahhahahahHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

>refuses to fix problems if Pokemon has them as well
nah, he's just a prick.

It's an inaccurate piece of shit. I don't know what the current state is as it has been a while, but a very common problem I had was the character sprites glitching on a screen transition and having to save/reload. I'm really not the best person to ask as I always drop the games after a few hours when I realize how mindnumbingly boring these games actually are. I don't understand why I keep going back to it. Just read the Desmume FAQ if you want to see how eternally buttblasted he is about the Pokémon series.

Either chankast or makaron, I can't remember. I used one of these many, many years ago and it worked perfectly fine

Fuck, the dev seems like the lowest of cunts.

People be moralistic and try to say it's for 'preservation' only and shit, but to intentionally add bare-bones support for games cause you don't like them is retarded?

PPSSPP's forum has support threads for the most obscure shit and they get advice, what the fuck is this in comparison?

Runs slow as shit, dev hates anything that relates to wifi, removes features, treats contributors like shit, emulator also a hacky piece of shit.

>intentionally add bare-bones support for games cause you don't like them
If only it had stopped at that. He actively sabotaged other people's work because it was also positively affecting the emulation of Pokémon games. It's like a whole new level.
